Front A/V Jacks
Note: Not available on Model No. A27B43
There are four jacks on the front of your Entertainment Machine that make
connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and camcorders very simple.
The jacks are located behind a small door below the buttons on the front panel.
The jacks are exactly like those found on the jack pack on the back of your Entertainment Machine. Which means
that any equipment that connects to those types of jacks in the jack pack, can also be connected in front.
To use the front jacks as the signal source, use the Source menu as described on page 21. The jacks are labeled ”Front Video,” and “Front S-Video.”
You can connect equipment to either the Front Video jack or Front S-Video jack, but not both at the same time.

Cable/Antenna Input: This setting allows you to change cable or antenna channels and to view videocassettes on channel 3 (or 4) in mono sound.
Video Input: This setting allows stereo playback of videocassettes. The television cannot change channels in the Video mode, but the VCR can.
